I Need Advice/help. Im Am 16 And Depressed Posted: 12-03-07 09:03am
i need some help, im only 16 and i fell
like my depression has gotten worse, i
have often thoughts about suicide and how
i feel useless and i know this doesn't
seem normal.
i began to feel depressed when i started
working at age 14 for two months.
i suffer from problems at home: my brother
is a drug user and there has been constant
fighting between him and my parents (for
over 3 years now) and i get scared, upset
and stressed all the time they happen and
now all these emotions wont disappear.
i began to occasionally start thinking of
suicide when i am left alone to thoughts
but this only began happening 3 or more
months ago when my brother and mother were
in a huge fight and my brother became
violent and threw things.
when i tried to step in and calm him down
my oldest sister moved me out of the way
and then she was hit in the face by him. i
know i shouldn't be the one feeling guilty
but i felt as though i deserved to be hit
not her, it was all my fault that i
couldn't do anything to avoid such a thing
happening. this is what made me feel as
depressed as i am now.
please help me with any advice, i don't
want to ask my parents....i feel afraid of
what they will do and i don't want them to
feel more stressed as they are right now.

You say you can't go to your parent's. Go
to the counselor at school, if this isnt a
opition then talk to a very close friend,
or maybe your preacher can help.

Believe it or not, most depression starts
at home. Normally familys that don't get
along wih the parents or broken homes,
siblings that can't stand each other. It
is a shame it really is. I know it make
some of us not even want to go home
sometimes.
The home is supposed to be a safe place.
Instead it has turned into to a hourse of
horror.
I am with you on this one. I had to move
out of my mom and sister's house just to
keep my sanity. With that and drugs, I now
stuggle like you to keep my postivie
thoughts going.
It's very hard to be in a place where you
feel you are stranded and nothing but
fighting going on. It is one heck of a
situation to be in. And you poor thing, at
you age it is even worse. Where can you
go? No where. So the only thing you can do
is try and let things slide off you
shoulders, get some help that will get you
though this.
We now live in the days where the family
is really not a family anymore with most
of the time both parents working and tired
when they get home. Lot's of school work
to contend with and just all around life.
We live in a very busy world and sometimes
it feels we just are never going to catch
up with it.
Get some help and meds if that is what you
need so you can feel better and get
yourself through this monster.
